A Building Association Decision.
JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER FOR THE AMOUNT OF
THE LOAN AND EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST
A case OF interest to building associations has
Just been decided in the superior court at Atlanta
Ga. In 1883 Mr. Van Pelt took fifteen shares OF
the Home Association stock. A few months later
he borrowed on that stock, paying SOY for the
money; that Is to say, the association took up his
stock and advanced him 81, 1872 taking as security
q deed to MIR. vanPelts LOT, and also his bond to
the sum Of s., 1000 for the payment OF $50 per
month to the close OF the associations career. MI.
Van Pelt paid his dues and interest to the amount
of something over $780, and then, being unable to
meet his payments, allowed them to lapse. For
three months he made no payments, and on the
deferred payments was charged up with interest
Of per cent month That was done under the
rules OF the association, but Nj. Van Peit made
objection to the rate OF interest. In the fall Of
1885 the association took steps to fOreclose and
secure the balance. The case was on trial four
days The association claimed 81 Az in addition
to the payments already made, while Mr.. Van
Pelt wanted to pay only the original sum bor-
rowed together with the legal rate OF interest,
less the payments previously made. Instead OF
giving the association the 81, AT claimed, the
Judgment was for &535. IS principal $l56 interest
and $50 attorneys fees. It seems that the jury
simply calculated the interest a. per cent on the
sum borrowed deducted the payments made and
brought In a verdict for the difference.

Barnum, man who has invested
thousands in advertising and knows
better, probably, than any other man.
the real value Of it; You do not any
of you advertise enough. You are
asleep and want your busin ass to run
itself. Standing advertisements in a
paper command confidence. The man
who for year lives in one community
apd leads reputable life, even though
he be Of moderate ability, will grow
in the confidence and esteem of his
fellows. On the same principal news
paper advertisement becomes familiar
in the eyes Of the reader. 1t may sell

and its presence in the columns of a
paper inspires confidence in the sta

To-day we publish the first of Il series of

object of which is to remind the public Of
certain facts connected witch the Home
Rule agitation which are too often permit.
ted 10 drop out Of sight. The ParneIlites
get M such n show of honest Indignation
when the history of their movement is re-
frrred to, the GladstOniauS are so anxious
to draw a veil over the past alike of them
selves and their allies. and the public are
so ready to forget what it is most impor-
tant TO remember and SO easily induced to
accept the specious claptrap of Irish ora
tors as a true and exhaustive statement of
the ease, that a plain recital of son of the
nndisputed and ~indiSputable evidence
of the last few years becomes prOba-
bly, one of the most useful of cOntri-
buttons 10 current controversy. There
il ~ great deal of flabby sentimpntaliSm
among us at the present day, which takes
the form of fat refusal TO believe that amy
body can be very bad. 1t does not spring
from any noble or even Respectable root,
for it is accompanied by equally conSllcu-
GUS llcapacity to think anybody very good.
Ut is merely a product of sheer dulneSs OF
imagination and bIuntness of perception.
People are carefully shielded in this coun-
try from the Vaccinations of the diaboli-
cally wicked, and the nneventful current
of their daily lives does little to open up
to them the possibilities of either good or
evil in the human heart. Hence they sink
into that lazy aud stupid form of practical
infdelity which holds all actions to be
pretty much of one neutral tint, credits
